Why haven't charges of impeachment been brought against Thomas? There is ample evidence that he committed perjury during his confirmation hearing. He also profited from his decision in Gore v. Bush when his wife was working for George W. Bush while the Supreme Court was hearing arguments in the case.

The Ray gun revolution coming to home to roost. This is the beginning of the end of the Republic. It will be the Christians that raise arms against our government - inspired by anti-American Republicon goons like Thomas, Alito and Scalia. These are people who hate our country, hate its people and want to see it destroyed so that a small corporate minority can rule de jure as well as de facto. If you're a Republicon - this is what you support: Degenerate, anti-American scum bags - all.

Free politics from religion. Justices Thomas and Scalia are perverting our freedoms. Perhaps they would not be behind having states declare an 'official religion' if the state choice was radical Islam like the IS in Syria.

I wrote a dystopia "Rabbletown: Life in These United Christian States of Holy America" Title pretty much sums it up. I set the book in 2084, probably too far in the future. Seems just around the corner.

How frightening to see a rational explanation for such weird interpretation. Can everything be defended? Perhaps.

The Separation Of Church And Hate:

There is a good reason why Church and State must always remain separate. Let’s get something straight, right from the start: A theocratic state is not a free state, and never will be. I’m sure it was never Jesus’ intention nor was it His will that anyone should be dominated in His name, the name of Christ. That is the will of men. To be accurate, the concept in itself is anti-Christian. You can only follow Christ by choice, not by legislation.

It seems some people are more intent on casting stones at perceived sinners than propagating the love of Christ. ~ “Above all else, I command you love one another”. ~ This was the message that Jesus preached, and as far as I can see, the worth of a soul will only be measured as such. But I can assure you of one thing, when your time of judgment comes, you won’t be asked to recite scripture, but rather, if anything, the question will be; did you get the message and live by it?

For all of you people out there on the religious right, you should try to remember that looking for sins to condemn, and people to persecute in the name of God, is simply Satan’s way of keeping you from seeing what is good and praiseworthy. It’s Satan’s favorite means of deceit; getting people to hate and kill each other in the name of God and Christ Jesus. Twisting scripture to incite hatred and division.

Understand this; that by doing so, you are defaming the name of Christ, associating Jesus with bigotry and hate. Jesus was never cursed with these feelings, these sins that you commit in His name. It’s widely agreed that He rose above it all, and to use His name for the justification of spreading contempt and hatred for anyone is true heresy. It isn’t Pro-Christ by any means, but clearly Anti-Christ.

The Christian Dilemma:

The greatest threat to America, and indeed to the rest of world, at this point in history, comes from the staunch advocates of right wing ideology, and I must submit this warning to you: There is a grave problem with the right wing movement, in that; they seem to possess a distorted sense of entitlement. They’ve set themselves apart, and seem to think that their faith gives them the right to view the world from a platitude of conceit, through condescending eyes, and with a false sense of superiority. They actually believe themselves to be superior beings, with a manifest destiny and some strange notion that God is on their side. A people with a desire to conquer, under the false guise of Christianity, seeking to dominate in the name of Christ, their view of humanity being reduced to nothing more than a matter of “us” and “them”.

What they fail to realize is; if the Christ you believe in leads you to view other humans as lesser beings, then you are a follower of the anti-Christ. The plain truth is; God doesn’t have a religion and God doesn’t discriminate. Any religion that professes to be the only true religion,or that they‘re special in the eyes of God preaches false doctrine. If the Spirit of God is truly with you, it will only be known by acts of “unconditional” love and charity. No religion can claim exclusive rights to God. He belongs to all that He has created, and to foster a belief in “us” and“them” is to divide humanity, not unite it.

And so it will be, in The End, that those who have set themselves apart from their fellow man will find that they have set themselves apart from God. The worth of a soul will only be measured by how much it has loved, nothing more, nothing less. Woe to those who have taken the widow’s mite and built castles and empires in His name. They have incurred a great accountability, their suffering will be unending.

Even Jesus will not claim to be Christian, but will only proclaim the glory of the Father. And when He returns they will shout: "Here we are Lord!" And He will respond: "I never knew you". They have forsaken the Word and have become prisoners of the Numbers.

Those who have put themselves first will be last.

The mob is too ignorant to understand Federalism. They would rather hang themselves on the gallows of tyranny with ropes made of their own ignorance. There is no doubt that the Bill of Rights only precluded federal action. Maybe the founders did that for a reason that escapes your feeble little minds or a 15 second sound segment on cable news?

It'll be an awesome good time when the vastly increasing endless numbers of Muslims immigrating to our country start using these religious-based rulings to start moving to and living en masse to the same towns, cities, counties and states to leverage these laws to further their own particular* supernatural belief, and then we'll have towns, cities, counties and who knows maybe even states under Sharia law. Maybe then the Hindus will get the idea, and they'll all move en masse to various or specific other areas of the US to codify their religion in the laws of their state. And all the other religions will set up their own little fiefdoms across the country. Soon, America will be a collection of religious states. Makes perfect sense. Exactly what the founders had in mind with the concept of "separation of church and state."
